Carson Tapia played the hero in both of the Bruins' games this past week. The sophomore forward secured two game-winning goals in back-to-back wins for the Bruins. Tapia scored his first against Lewis & Clark with just 16 seconds remaining en route to a 2-1 victory. For his second game-winner, he used his nondominant foot to bury a goal in the bottom-right corner in the Bruins' 1-0 shutout of Pacific at home, scoring the lone goal of the match in the 66th minute. Tapia started in both matches for a combined 132 minutes of action, helping the Bruins win two straight for the first time since September 2024.
